Episode description
Joshua and Angela sit down with Musical America's Composer of the Year, Jessie Montgomery. Violinist, educator, and one of the 21st-century's premier composers, Montgomery sheds light on her musical upbringing and her social awakening as a composer of color in a field that is still all too reticent to uplift and highlight the contributions in classical music from the African diaspora.
